    [2025] Macbook Air M2 users, how is your experience so far ?

    Hi! Next month is my birthday, and I’m planning to upgrade my old MacBook Air (2015). It’s still working fine, but I really need an upgrade. I’ve decided to go with the MacBook Air M2 (16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) since it seems perfect for my needs. I’d love to hear from people who are currently...

    Lag when switching spaces with ProMotion

    I noticed something that is slower on my 2021 M1 Max MBP than my 2013 MBP: switching spaces. Whether it's by 3/4 finger swipe or ctrl+arrow key, it takes about 2 seconds after initiating the switch for the new app to become "active" and let you scroll, start typing, etc. The first second is...

    Any way to set Safari at 90% zoom? instead of either 75/85/100%

    Most sites are fine at either 85% or 100% but some would really benefit from a 90% or 95% zoom so I'm not sure why that's not an option, it's so simple.

    Spreading Hand Lotion On Touchpad

    Recently, my MacBook Air M1 touchpad started to feel sticky, and my fingers hardly move on it. I found a solution by spreading some Nivea hand lotion on it, though I may have applied a little to the edges as well. Could this cause any damage to my laptop? Thank you.

    Locked brightness for custom display presets - Black Crush - MBP 2024 M4 XDR Display

    I'm using a custom display preset to reduce apple's default gamma boost as the default profile has it way too high in my opinion (even with contrast set to normal in accesibility settings) and dark images become impossible to decipher due to black crush. I think Apple may even have a gamma lock...

    How well does Stable Diffusion perform on Macbook M4? How much RAM is recommended for UI/UX designers at minimum?

    Can the base model M4 run Stable Diffusion? I tried using M1 (8GB/128GB) but it couldn't handle it at all. I'm wondering how the base M4 (16GB/512GB) would perform?

    12" MacBook V1 Gold vs. V2 Gold vs. 13" M1 Gold (is the V2 gold different than the M1 Gold?)

    Hi hope all are well! As you can see here the 12" MacBook had two "Golds", the V1 Gold and the V2 gold, which was very short in production. Very interesting to me as it's a lesser known fact. Then, we saw gold on the airs and M1s forward. So the main question here is, is the V2 gold or 'warm...

    I have just bought the new MacBook Pro m4 Pro and I am worried about a silly thing I have noticed that really bugs me. With the lid opened, the left bottom corner and the oposite one (making a diagonal) feels more soft than the other corners. For example, I could lift from these corners only...

    Touch Bar should have been ADDED, not REPLACED

    So MacBook's unpopular Touch Bar is completely gone.... I think it was unique gimmick with something potential and it should have been ADDED to the full keyboard, instead of REPLACING the physical keys. What do you think?
